The International Workshop on Agent Technology for Ambient Intelligence
////\\\\////\\\\////\\\\////\\\\
AgTAmI 2013
Bucharest, Romania
29-31 May 2013
http://aimas.cs.pub.ro/agtami2013

in conjunction with
The 19th International Conference on Control Systems and Computer Science (CSCS19 - 2013)


Organized under the FP7 ERRIC Project

DEADLINE Extended to 11 February 2013!

Ambient Intelligence (AmI) aims to make our everyday living and working a better, a smarter and a more pleasant environment that pro-actively but non-intrusively supports us in our daily lives. It integrates technologies and algorithmic aspects from many domains: artificial intelligence, distributed and mobile computing, human-computer interfaces, sensor networks, collaborative and pervasive computing, robotics, context aware computing, and others. Considering AmI features and multi-disciplinary nature, intelligent agent technology is a very promising and suitable approach to support the development of AmI new systems and applications.

The Agent Technologies for Ambient Intelligence (AgTAmI) Workshop will bring together scientists and practitioners interested in discussing and exchanging views on how to make better use of agents and multi-agent systems in novel approaches and applications of AmI, how to better exploit a technology that has now arrived to its maturity, in order to create intelligence embedded in the environment and to adapt the environment to user’s interests and expectations.

A debate on directions and future directions of research in the area will be organized by the end of the Workshop, giving the participants the possibility to share ideas and make new contacts.

AgTAmI 2013 will be held in conjunction with the 19th International Conference on Control Systems and Computer Science (CSCS 19) in Bucharest, Romania, 29-31 May 2013, http://cscs19.acs.pub.ro
